Cheap LFS Pages comparison and push-guide verification
Date: 2026-07-28
Scope: GitHub Pages and documentation only
Route: /cheap-lfs.html
Outcome
The locally assembled Pages site passed 46/46 browser checks across eight/eight phases. The accepted source presents:
- a sourced, bilingual, filterable 30-point Cheap LFS versus Git LFS decision table;
- five comparison categories plus the all-results view, with the selected filter persisted across reloads;
- a six-stage provider-first push handoff;
- the first-branch GitHub Release anchor as a distinct exception;
- committed-pointer inspection with
git show, plus fetchedHEAD/@{upstream}SHA proof; - explicit guidance not to add the materialized raw file; and
- honest Git LFS recommendations where its specification, host integration, or cross-platform ecosystem is the better fit.
Headless acceptance
The verifier verify_cheap_lfs_pages_revamp.js
started an owned loopback static server and drove installed Google
Chrome in headless mode through the fixed Lowlevel MCP HTTP service. The
final exact source run lasted from 2026-07-28T16:28:40.203Z
to 2026-07-28T16:28:55.623Z and returned
client_ok: true, exit code 0, with zero
recorded console, page, request, HTTP, phase, fatal, or cleanup
errors.
The browser matrix covered:
- 1440×960 and 390×844 viewports;
- English, playful Hong Kong-style Cantonese, and bilingual modes;
- light and dark themes;
- English and Cantonese funny levels 1 and 5 with persisted values;
- all comparison filters and reload persistence;
- desktop and narrow document/table overflow;
- compact-navigation keyboard reachability;
- all 17 images and all local HTTP responses; and
- deterministic browser and server closure.

Both PNGs were inspected at original resolution. No clipping, blank frame, private data, or unrelated desktop content was present. These are real site captures, not mockups, and they do not alter the 89-scene built-app gallery.

Evidence boundary
The skill-required full Electron production build was launched
through the exact Lowlevel MCP endpoint with
RELEASE_CHANNEL=development DESKTOP_SKIP_PACKAGE=1. It
remained silent for more than 34 minutes and was interrupted when the
user explicitly prioritized the site push. This receipt therefore makes
no Electron build, package, or app runtime claim. It
verifies the Pages source and its browser behavior only.
The final commit, push proof, Pages run, and live-route confirmation are added to the rolling GitHub Discussion and repository handoff after publication.
